Problem :
Give an expression for the average value of a property A for a system in diffusive and thermal contact with a "reservoir". A "reservoir" is a huge system next to our smaller system with large energy and number of particles.
Problem :
Give an expression for the average number of particles in a system that is in thermal and diffusive contact with a reservoir.
Problem :
Suppose that we have a system that can be unoccupied or can have one
particle in a state with energy
. Write the Gibbs sum
for this system.
